Version 4.00. Earlier version wrote out a temporay file when zeroing
batches of files. This version does this internaly with a 3000 file
limit. This was a programming correction and when working on a CD-
Rom drive the drive would not let me write the temporary file so I
updated the program to correctly handle file names. This version
lets you read in files in the current directory and write them as
zero length files in another [drive:]\directory.
No bug reports reported on earlier versions.
Version 4.10. Some internal updates making the program slightly
smaller that 4.00. Added HUCKABEY.TXT and ARCHIVE.TXT to the
archive. See them for details.
Version 4.20. Changed the program so that the "read only" bit is
reset. Other versions could not zero out a "read only" file. This
will still not work if you are on a CD-ROM disc which is all
"read only" and can cannot be changed or altered in any way. This
option only works if you use the destination command line option.
Version 4.30. Added an optional command-line option if you want
to bypass the "yes" prompt to proceed when using a destination.
This lets you use batch files without having to press any keys.
Added more error detection to program and corrected an error in
the attrib setting routine.
